Pointless

@poptimus it seems we are getting off the topic of my original post. My beef is not with Witch per se, rather the usefulness of her accomplishing the arena objective I initially posted as far as MY team is concerned. I will admit my disdain for the class comes mainly from PvE (which still is my primary concern despite much new content) and had failed to give her due merit for PvP where she can be useful. Here are my concerns:
Being mastery 9 (as opposed to 12 as all my birds are save the newest three) definitely matters not for healing the banner but as you had alluded to, health and arena mechanics as far as AI is concerned. As level 50, you are aware what kind of competition there is in arena, and also what tactics are employed by the enemy AI. Almost always the bird with the lowest health is targeted first, which makes a 9 Witch dead meat in a team otherwise consisting of 12s. If enemy goes first, she will be down, and if I go first, what is the point of banner heal? Not to mention that substituting a weaker member into a Power team is counter to that team moniker. If all members are equal (or somewhat), then I see your point as Witch may be useful. Are you, as lvl 50 with 6-8 mastery facing similar opponents? I can tell you in platinum I am always against stacked teams 1500 or above so this makes Witch (at least for now until I raise her to 12) nonviable.
My initial post was concerning the defeat 10 birds in a battle objective, so saying you concentrate on the banner exclusively is not an answer to the dilemma I put forth. I am not trying to be argumentative and I hope you don’t take it this way, I just feel we got off topic here.
